Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1954, the property has undergone a recent renovation making it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances and refreshed cabinetry, though the tile countertops and flooring style suggest the renovation is functional rather than high-end mint condition. The interior shows well-maintained systems and modern lighting updates.
The property has been recently renovated and updated throughout, offering a modern and stylish move-in-ready interior that appeals to buyers seeking immediate comfort without the need for repairs.
Situated in the 'hidden gem' neighborhood of El Sereno, the home offers a quiet hillside atmosphere while maintaining excellent proximity to Downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Highland Park.
With three bedrooms plus a dedicated bonus room, the 1,431-square-foot layout provides significant flexibility for a home office, creative studio, or guest accommodations.
While the hillside location provides scenic views, the 5,043-square-foot lot may feature sloped terrain that limits the amount of flat, functional outdoor space for recreation or expansion.
Originally constructed in 1954, the property may have aging core systems or structural elements typical of its era that require ongoing maintenance despite the recent cosmetic renovations.
